What format for images better for you? RAW or JPG?

I assume your talking from digicam. RAW is usually some derivative of TIFF or something, no loss, no compression, HUGE files. In my experience high quality digital cam pics can be delivered, un-resized, at 10-quality JPEG with excellent results (provided the pic is high quality to start with) at much smaller sizes, with more flexibility (less work you have to do post-process it, faster to deal with because it's smaller).

are u talking about scanned images. You should save as JPG then. Once I scanned a picture and it turned out to be 10Gigs BIG!. Something was wrong with my scanner software

You can do much more post processing when pics are in the RAW format.

Actually TIFF is compressed but its a non lossy compression format. I do agree however that .jpg is better it does have loss but at the 10 quality he recommends its negligable...unless you are doing some really high end print work, in that case use uncompressed all the way...

Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
